It is tech news, but I get you. It's hard to find a place with news about actual technological innovations, advances, updates etc rather than the machinations of the corporations involved. I completely understand the relevance, but it's often not the sort of genuinely interesting read you're looking for.
yeah haha, the comments on most posts seem relatively positive to me? ironically, this is by far the most negative comment section I think I've ever seen here
honestly, I want to share this because it's a super relatable sentiment... but tide pods and coffee creamer aren't exactly the most relatable groceries to use for it lol
someone pls photoshop this tweet with bread or chicken or something so I can send it to my friends 😅
yeah, I use my start button all the time to quickly open stuff. Hit start, start typing the program name, hit enter because it shows up immediately as a suggestion. super quick with no need to touch the mouse
How many of us are ten year plus users who have just had enough?
I just use both now, honestly. I don't really use the big subreddits because the users and quality of conversation feel like they're actively making me dumber... but there are smaller niche communities that don't really have a viable non-reddit alternative yet, and I'm not willing to let one greedy man force me to give up on a part of my life that I really enjoy.
Zeke Hausfather, a research scientist at Berkeley Earth, warned more records could be broken this year, due to an increase in emissions and El Nino.
Okay, I know this isn't the point of the article, but this guy's name is cool as hell and would fit perfectly as the leader of a band of survivors once the climate change apocalypse actually hits.
Now, that said, I would prefer that it didn't. Every other form of existential dread I can rationalize away, but this feels inexorable.
You can subscribe to kbin "magazines" just like communities from other federated lemmy instances too, so you can view them all through lemmy.world or whichever instance you're on
Here's a link to the blocky docs with a little more explanation. The above link looks like it goes to the a docker image posted on the user's profile... I think? ^I need to get more familiar with docker^
I think the best approach might be general subject-specific instances? Like, video.games with a main games community, meme community, then smaller communities for various games - or sports.social, with communities for each sport.
I feel like we're going to end up with a particular community on a particular instance ending up as the "default" community for that subject, but it'd probably be better (in an ideal world) to have those on separate instances to maintain some degree of decentralization
I voted for no memes, and I'm really glad we got that, but one thing I want to mention is that it'd be good to have a /c/gamingmemes or something to redirect people to, rather than just a closed "no memes here". There's definitely an appetite for that content, and it seems gentler if there's another community they can be directed to.
(I thought about creating it myself but I've never really liked gaming meme pages, so I don't think I'd be good at hosting one 😅)

Having him deliver the "I've been here the whole time" would be incredible haha
I didn't realize Sam Reich's dad was so cool
Yeah, honestly, that's music to my ears. Imagine a world where organizations weren't in the business of pursuing capital at any cost.
this is someone manually doing it themselves as a joke to simulate the leaderboard on your myspace page.

if you listen closely you can hear the beans coming our way
I'm fully in the loop and it still just makes me think of omg sO teh r4nd0m!! memes from 2005
like, maybe we'll revisit ragecomics next lol
because we're taking the internet back to 2003 and that includes omg teh random posts being funny again *holds up spork*
yeah, I had some ones set up like months out, it was always fun getting those random reminders. There's a similar bot on discord, at least
